用大模型验证文学角色原型在四种叙事类型中的表现差异。

Revisiting Northrop Frye's Four Myths Theory with Large Language Models

  • 基于荣格心理结构构建四类通用角色,再细化为十六种类型角色。
  • 六款大模型在40部作品上达成82.5%准确率,验证框架有效性。
  • 揭示浪漫剧与讽刺剧的原型运用差异,适合叙事生成研究者。

北托普·弗莱的四大叙事类型理论(喜剧、浪漫剧、悲剧、讽刺剧)深刻影响文学批评,但现有计算方法多关注叙事模式而忽略角色功能。本文提出一种新角色功能框架,通过荣格原型理论映射出四种普遍角色(主角、导师、反派、伙伴),并基于典型作品将其细分为十六种类型角色。为验证该框架,我们使用六款先进大语言模型,在40部叙事作品中评估角色对应关系,采用160个正样本和30个负样本进行测试。模型平均平衡准确率达82.5%,模型间一致性良好(Fleiss' κ = 0.600)。性能随类型变化(72.7%至89.9%)和角色变化(52.5%至99.2%),定性分析显示差异反映真实叙事特征,如浪漫剧中角色分布规律与讽刺剧中原型颠覆。该角色导向方法展现了大模型在计算叙事学中的潜力,为未来叙事生成与互动叙事应用奠定基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Northrop Frye's theory of four fundamental narrative genres (comedy, romance, tragedy, satire) has profoundly influenced literary criticism, yet computational approaches to his framework have focused primarily on narrative patterns rather than character functions. In this paper, we present a new character function framework that complements pattern-based analysis by examining how archetypal roles manifest differently across Frye's genres. Drawing on Jungian archetype theory, we derive four universal character functions (protagonist, mentor, antagonist, companion) by mapping them to Jung's psychic structure components. These functions are then specialized into sixteen genre-specific roles based on prototypical works. To validate this framework, we conducted a multi-model study using six state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) to evaluate character-role correspondences across 40 narrative works. The validation employed both positive samples (160 valid correspondences) and negative samples (30 invalid correspondences) to evaluate whether models both recognize valid correspondences and reject invalid ones. LLMs achieved substantial performance (mean balanced accuracy of 82.5%) with strong inter-model agreement (Fleiss' $κ$ = 0.600), demonstrating that the proposed correspondences capture systematic structural patterns. Performance varied by genre (ranging from 72.7% to 89.9%) and role (52.5% to 99.2%), with qualitative analysis revealing that variations reflect genuine narrative properties, including functional distribution in romance and deliberate archetypal subversion in satire. This character-based approach demonstrates the potential of LLM-supported methods for computational narratology and provides a foundation for future development of narrative generation methods and interactive storytelling applications.
